Sponsored walk
A walk is one of the most popular ways of raising money for a good cause.
Children can ask parents, relations, friends etc to sponsor them for an amount per kilometer or per minute walked. You may consider some form of recognition for the person raising the most money.
Preparation:
- Map the route - at least 30 minutes!
- Consider safety/ practicality issues – follow the rules at your school.
- Think about the weather!
- Prepare sponsorship forms and distribute in good time
- Register your walk on the Global Diabetes Walk website; www.globaldiabeteswalk.net
On the day:
- Remind everyone why we are doing the Global Diabetes Walk
- Explain about diabetes and how to lead a healthy lifestyle
- Remember that you are not alone - thousands of others around the world will be walking with you!
- Dont forget to update your results on the website.
- Have fun....then collect the money!
What to do with the money?
Thats up to you! We hope that you will use it to do something about diabetes for example:
- Promote a healthy lifestyle within your school - perhaps some new sports equipment?
